That's why, the first thing I do when I get a new cellphone, is to delete Facebook!

They are companies, not democracies. You don't get to vote, unless you are a stockholder.

Zuckerberg routinely fucks over major stockholders...most notably his friends.

Exactly. Facebook is a corporation, just like all the others. So long as Corporations have a responsibility to 'maximize stockholder profit', and not to 'do good' or any such thing, they always will fuck over everyone.

Facebook losing it's grip on young people, who are quitting the site in their millions

Quote:

Young people are turning their backs on Facebook, according to a new report.

Two million people under the age of 25 will stop using the social network this year, research firm eMarketer predicted.

Facebook has a “teen problem”, the company said, adding that it expects fewer and fewer young social media users to continue to use the site in the future.

Went on to Facebook tonight for the first time in months just for something to do. Went to the notifications and for some unknown reason what appeared to be the entire under-30 population of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam wanted to friend me. Don't know why, I haven't had Vietnamese food or watched Platoon in years. Jesus Christ, what a crock Zuckerberg's monster is.
